Abstract

As long as the injection of nanoparticles (mainly nanozerovalent iron, nZVI) has become a common technology for soil and groundwater remediation, a concern has simultaneously grown regarding the side effects and potential impact on the ecosystems, as occurring with other engineered nanometric scale materials. Based on precautionary principle, the technology is still pending approval by regulators in several countries until uncertainties regarding risk analysis are clarified,
